Chapter 691:
“I’ll go right away.”
After entering my office, I stood in front of my desk, lost in thought. Linda had been on leave for three days. It seemed their trip to Puji Island hadn’t lasted long. As soon as I thought about Herbert and Linda, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. I took a deep breath and tried to adjust my mood.
I found the document that I wanted Linda to sign. Without thinking too much, I took the document and walked out of the office. When I arrived at Linda’s office, her secretary, Sofia, stood up and smiled.
“Bella, are you looking for Linda to sign the document?”
“Yes,” I nodded. I then glanced at the door in front of me and said, “I heard Linda is back from her leave.”
Sofia nodded.
“Yes, she is. But today, our company has a big case to deal with involving the Wharton Group. Linda has gone to the meeting room.”
“With the Wharton Group?”
I couldn’t help but frown.
Wharton Group? Was Herbert working with Linda? It seemed that after three days of vacation, he and Linda had gotten to know each other very well!Sofia smiled.
“You don’t know yet, do you? Mr. Wharton from the Wharton Group gave a very important case, one that’s been fought over by several powerful senior executives, to our company. Even the general manager is in awe of Linda. With the case from Wharton Group, we’ll definitely get a generous bonus this year.”
Hearing this, I held the document tightly in my arms.
I knew about Herbert. He never made work-related decisions based on personal feelings. Of course, he wouldn’t mix business with relationships. Even though this company was relatively large, there were other companies that were more famous than Stephen Firm in A City. If it was just about strength, Stephen Firm might not have been able to secure the big case from the Wharton Group. Now that Herbert had decided to give this business to Stephen Firm, it seemed that he valued Linda a lot. Perhaps he was serious about his feelings for her?
“Bella, if you’re in a hurry, why don’t you go directly to the conference room to find Linda? The signing ceremony is set for 10 o’clock. There’s still time.”
“Okay, thank you.”
I thanked her and turned to walk to the conference room.
I told myself, “Even if Herbert announces that he’s going to marry Linda today, I must remain calm.”
I had already separated from Herbert. This day was bound to come. Herbert would eventually get married again. Even if there wasn’t Linda today, there would be someone else tomorrow. So I should just focus on my own part.
When I arrived at the door of the conference room, I noticed it wasn’t completely closed. As I was about to open it, I heard a familiar voice.
“Linda, can you listen to me?”
It was a man’s deep voice, one I recognized immediately.
